Modules/ident

From Inspire IRCd (InspIRCd)

Description

Allows RFC 1413 lookups on users connecting to your server. Without this module loaded all users will have their username field prefixed with a ~ and not checked against identd.

Configuration Tags

This module adds the following tag:

<ident timeout="5">

The timeout value is the number of seconds to wait for an ident response. This is a total waiting time, which is the combined time to connect, send the request, and retrieve the result and then close the socket, as all operations for ident are nonblocking to prevent disruption of service to the network.

Additional Modes

None

Additional Commands

None

Special Notes

Ident lookups are provided through this module for compatibility only. It is recommended that ident is not relied upon in the modern internet. For more information please see this article.
